The Buchan Gravels Formation (BGF) takes the form of a series of gravel deposits of intriguing age and origin in North-East Scotland. The BGF is divided into two geographically-distinct groups, the Windy Hills Gravel Member (WHGM) and the Buchan Ridg

Here we present geomorphologic, palaeoenvironmental and archaeo-botanical data which elucidate the Late Pleistocene and Holocene glacial history of the high, mountain-locked Himalayan valleys in northwest Bhutan and provide one of the earliest proofs

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of a series of glaciofluvial/glaciodeltaic sediments in central Buchan and Aberdeen has recently been undertaken. The aims of this project are to test the chronological model proposed by the most recent

It has been proposed that deformation tills have fractal particle-size distributions, reflecting scale-invariant debris-comminution processes. Numerical simulations, however, show that fractal dimensions (m) typical of deformation tills can be produc

Samples of suspended sediment were obtained from the Dora di Ferret, a glacifluvial stream in the Italian Alps, over a period of 24 h. IRSL analysis of the sediment indicates that the residual ( I NAT ) signal is almost completely zeroed within 3 km

Analysis of the thermoluminescence (TL) signal from suspended sediment samples from the Dora di Ferret river in northern Italy reveals two scenarios for entrainment, transport and bleaching of the TL signal. In clear weather, a simple diurnal fluctua

Morphologic and stratigraphic evidence shows that a late-glacial ice cap existed on part of the Eastern Cordillera of Ecuador (Lat. 0° 20′ S) on ground with a mean elevation of 4200 m where none exists now. An outlet glacier from an ca. 800 km2ice
